Many methods of sharing mapped data are now available and easy to use. Using these methods can foster critical and spatial thinking by engaging the ArcGIS platform. *We have written about a variety of ways to share mapped data in this blog. *One method is to create a spreadsheet, publish it to ArcGIS Online, and making it editable in the field to enable your students to do citizen science-based mapping. *Another idea we wrote about is to crowdsource your photographs that can be used in multimedia maps. *We have also written about the many ways that you and your students can map their field data. *With increasing interest in storymaps, how can data from more than one student be shown in a storymap?
Several methods exist for educators and students to create data in the field or in the classroom and map it via a storymap, with more on the way. *One way is to create a map in ArcGIS Online that includes an editable feature service, as shown in this example where I invite educators to map tree species on their campuses. *You can then create a story map, such as the one shown below.* Here, I chose the “basic story map” when I shared my map to a web mapping application. *The story map updates each time tree data is added. *Data can be added in the field using the Collector for ArcGIS app*if the map has been shared with a group and the user has been invited to that group. *Data can also be added via a web browser on a laptop or tablet computer, and if the map has been shared publicly, with no log in required.
While you cannot have multiple editors work on a single story map, one method for instruction is to designate a person in your class whose ArcGIS Online account keeps the “master” storymap. *Other students develop content in ArcGIS Desktop, Pro, or Online that they upload and share that content with their peers within their Group in ArcGIS Online. *Then, the person responsible for the master map searches for that content and adds it to their ArcGIS Online map. * The storymap, as in the example I show below, automatically updates because it is pointing to the original editable map.
I mentioned above that “more methods are on the way.” *These include the upcoming crowdsourcing storymap application, so keep an eye on this blog for further updates.
